“This was incredible. I loved watching you work, Joey.” Brett’s smile was contagious as he stroked my ego a little.
“Thanks!”
“You really have talent, young lady.” Kathy grabbed her bag off the couch, looking up at Finn. “Want to grab a bite to eat with your sister?”
Shoving his running clothes into the bottom of his hanging bag, Finn twisted around to look at her. “Yeah, alright.”
“Thank you again, Joey.” Kathy was halfway out the door already.
“Don’t mention it! I’d love to do it again sometime.”
With Finn, not Kiera.
“See you later, beautiful.” Finn kissed my cheek and followed his sister out the door.
“See you later?” Brett had his hands crossed over his chest, his hip popped out.
“We’re having dinner tonight.”
“A date? That’s not like you.”
I shrugged. “Yeah, but he’s different.”
Brett laughed. “You mean he’s incredibly sexy.”
I plopped down on the couch and started to rub Dozer’s white belly. “There’s that, and there’s just something about him. He really is different.”
“Whatever you say, cous. I’m glad you’re moving on from that two-timing asshole. He wasted a year of your life.”
“Thanks? I’m going to pretend that wasn’t a slap in the face.”
He slouched down next to me and flicked on the television. “It was said with love.”
“I guess that’s all that matters.”
